Synopsis "Un prince de la bohême (in French)"

Dinah de La Baudraye (née Dinah Piédefer), épouse de Jean-Anastase-Polydore Milaud de La Baudraye dans la Muse du département et poétesse locale considérée comme bas-bleu, qui signe ses écrits du nom de Jean Diaz, vient de soumettre au poète Raoul Nathan une nouvelle: Le Prince de la bohème. Les protagonistes du texte sont l'ex-danseuse Tullia, (Claudine Chaffaroux), un de ces rats qui se vendent pour survivre à divers protecteurs. C'est son histoire et ses amours qui sont retracées dans la nouvelle de Dinah, au milieu d'un raout comparable à celui qui a lieu dans Autre étude de femme chez Félicité des Touches (George Sand) sur laquelle Dinah de La Baudraye a calqué sa conduite mondaine et littéraire, sans toutefois atteindre son succès.

Honoré de Balzac (1799-1851), novelist, playwright, literary and art critic, essayist, journalist, and French printer, is considered one of the great writers of realism. Born in Tours, in 1814 he moved to Paris, where he studied law and began working in a law firm, but his love for literature drove him to abandon his career and dedicate himself to writing. He undertook several businesses, which ended in failure and left him in debt. With The Last Chouan (1829), he achieved great success. From then on, he began a feverish activity, writing, among others, The Physiology of Marriage (1829) and The Wild Ass's Skin (1831), with which he began to consolidate his prestige. In 1834, Balzac, a tireless worker, conceived the idea of making an exhaustive portrait of French society of his time by having the same characters appear in different stories, which began to give his work a unitary sense under the title of The Human Comedy, to which belong titles such as Eugénie Grandet (1833), Father Goriot (1835), Splendors and Miseries of Courtesans (1838-1847) or Cousin Bette (1846), although of the 137 novels that were to make it up, fifty remained incomplete. An extraordinary writer, capable of deploying in his works sublime reflections and ideas, creating an interesting story with strong social criticism through exquisite prose of great poetic level and philosophical depth, Balzac is considered the founder of the modern novel.
